[Intro]
D C#m G Bb A
[Verse]
D       F#m
Hangin' out
G                       Bb  A
While the monkeys type away
G       D              A    A
Waiting in my room all day
[Pre-chorus]
D   A  G  A
Why be realistic? 
D     A       G       A
Don't wake me from my dream 
D A   G        A
I was individualistic 
D    A         G       A
They kicked me off the team 
[Chorus]
             D
We live in a dump 
             A
Admit it's a dump 
                    D
Our friends are all nuts 
                G
And half of 'em drunks 
                   D
And if they're not nuts 
               Bm
Then they're retired nuts 
    G                 A
And that might be the hardest nut 
DDD

[Verse]
D       A
Makin' plans 
G                  Bb   A
The kind that go awry 
G    D                A
                       (hold)
Got a full life-time supply 
[Pre-chorus]
D   A  G  A
Why be realistic? 
D     A       G       A
Don't wake me from my dream 
D A   G        A
I was individualistic 
D    A         G       A
They kicked me off the team 
[Chorus 2]
                  D
We're living with bats 
                  A
What's good about that? 
                D
I hear they lay eggs 
                  G
And when the eggs hatch 
                  D
You gotta believe then 
        Bm
There's related madness 
         G                  A
From the lead that's in the sealing wax 
             D
We live in a dump 
             Em
Admit it's a dump 
                    F#m
Our friends are all nuts 
                G
And half of 'em drunks 
                   D
And if they're not nuts 
             Bm
Then they're retired nuts

And that might be the hardest nut
